The adaptive traffic control system market was valued at US$ 4,307.45 million in 2020 and is projected to reach US$ 15,058.53 million by 2028; it is expected to grow at a CAGR of 17.8% from 2021 to 2028.

Adaptive traffic control system is a solution designed and developed to manage the growing traffic issues faced by the metropolitan cities. The adaptive traffic control system analyses the flow of traffic in real-time and accordingly adjust the traffic signals’ split timings to optimize the flow of the traffic in order reduce and avoid congestions on the road. The adaptive traffic control system is combination of hardware and software components which allows operators to gather data regarding the flow of traffic from each intersection of the city in order to minimize delays and stops. The system improves the travel time significantly by gradually moving the traffic through green lights to create smoother flow of traffic.

With the increasing rate of urbanization coupled with the growing sales of automotive vehicles across the world has led to the growing need for managing the flow traffic efficiently, which is one of the major factors driving the adoption of adaptive traffic control system across the world. However, the lack of adoption of adaptive traffic control system in certain developing and underdeveloped countries is hampering the growth of the market. Meanwhile, as government across the world are investing highly in smart city project coupled with the growing importance of road safety is anticipated to flourish the adaptive traffic control system during the forecast period.
